Haddock and Crushed Peas

 

This recipe was from The Times today.

It looks like even my cooking skills could manage this one.

They did and it was good.

Germany

 

I’ve just had a few days away in western Germany, where I visited Xanten, Altenberg, Wuppertal, Cologne, the Moselle Valley, Trier, Montschau and Aachen. It was great fun despite the rain. The interesting thing though, is that I didn’t really have any problems with gluten. Most places knew exactly what to do and the standard German breakfast of cold meats and cheese is naturally gluten-free.

One of the highlights was the Flying Metro in Wuppertal.
